“…According to international surveys, such as Program for International Students Assessments (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Indonesian students perform poorly in mathematics, ranking 46 from 51 countries in TIMSS, and ranking 74 from 79 countries in PISA (Fenanlampir et al, 2019;Mullis et al, 2015;OECD, 2019). Also, students in Asian countries show lower selfefficacy and self-concept than those in Western nations (Pedrero & Manzi, 2020).…”

The purpose of the present study is to provide empirical evidence on the adaptation of the mathematics-related beliefs questionnaire (MRBQ) supplemented by info-communication technology-related items. Besides, we also investigate the relationship between their beliefs about mathematics and their ability in problem-solving mathematics. 234 grade eight students from five schools in Java, Indonesia, participated in this study. The questionnaire has appropriate reliability. To examine the validity of the questionnaire, factor analysis was applied, and regression analysis was conducted to explore students' beliefs and their relation to their performance. Factor analysis revealed a good fit of the model; therefore, confirming the validity of MRBQ in the Indonesian context. Descriptive statistics showed students' tendency to follow the nonrealistic approach when doing word problems. Regression analysis indicated the significant role of beliefs in mathematics predicting students' performance on mathematical word problems.

“…Self-belief refers to the estimation of one's attitudes, emotions, and capabilities of organizing and performing a set of recommended behaviors to manage potential situations (Pedrero and Manzi, 2020;Turner et al, 2006). Belief restoration is the staff estimation and judgement that their organizations are capable of organizing and performing the actions required to restore the safety and stability of workplaces during crisis events.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of hotel safety leadership on employee safety behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the mediation role of belief restoration and the moderation role of perceived risk between safety leadership and behavior were also investigated. Design/methodology/approach The COVID-19 outbreak served as the background for a questionnaire survey of 23 hotels in China with 1,594 valid responses being received. The statistical analysis techniques used were exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression. Findings The results showed that: hotel safety leadership positively affected employee safety behavior (compliance, participation and adaptation); belief restoration partially mediated the influence of safety leadership on safety behavior; and perceived risk negatively moderated the direct effect and the mediation effect of “safety leadership – belief restoration – safety behavior.” Research limitations/implications The main limitation was that the questionnaires were collected with the same measurement system within a certain period of time (cross-sectional design). Then, future research should test and expand this conceptual model in different crises, business fields, theoretical orientation and cultural backgrounds. Practical implications Hotels should develop management strategies based on safety leadership and motivate and promote employee safety behavior from the four aspects of safety coaching, care, motivation and control. Originality/value This investigation expanded the research on the effectiveness of safety leadership and especially with respect to safety in the hospitality industry during a major global crisis. Also, the research conceptual model and variables contained therein are original contributions to the hospitality research literature.

“…Alcanzar invarianza no es una tarea sencilla, incluso para sistemas establecidos de medición a nivel internacional 4 . La escasez de invarianza puede deberse al menos a tres fuentes de sesgo: constructo, ítems y método 4,5 . El sesgo de constructo ocurre cuando los grupos interpretan tales constructos de diferentes formas o cuando la cantidad de ítems es insuficiente para medir el constructo.…”
